The Liaoning team won a thrilling 82:80 victory in the warm-up match with the Guangsha team, although as a training battle, both sides also sent an absolute main force. In this game, the Guangsha team was relatively neat in terms of lineup, and the trident Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, Zhao Yanhao, and two foreign assistants, Okafor and Jones, all played. On the other hand, the three main players of the Liaoning team, Guo Allen, Han Dejun, and Li Xiaoxu, all hung up the free stop sign, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu belonged to the protective rotation, and the third stage could play normally, but Guo Allen was about to continue to truce, and there was no clear statement when to return. Due to too many missing battles, Guo Allen has decided to withdraw from the MVP competition, and in this match with Guangsha, the performance of the three defenders of the Liaoning team can be called inexhaustible.
In this game, Zhao Jiwei contributed 9 points and 6 assists, which can be called a routine operation, and in the absence of Guo Allen, the two substitute defenders were fully muted, and Zhou Juncheng was even angry in the case of 18 minutes of playing, and even Yan Handqi, who played more than 20 minutes, only scored 2 points. The three defenders combined to score 11 points, showing the weakness of the offensive end of the Liaoning team's defensive line at a glance, while Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao of the Guangsha team combined to score 27 points, from which it can be shown that in the absence of Guo Allen, Yang Ming's only fig leaf was completely torn off, and the third stage of the defensive defense line will completely become a short board. In the first two stages of the game, the reason why Liaoning lost to Shanxi and Shougang was also due to Guo Allen's absence.
Zhao Jiwei's occasional outbreak of a few games has been quite difficult, it is completely unrealistic to want him to average 20+ per game regularly, and Yan Zhiqi has been in Liaoning for four seasons, before many fans have always believed that Yang Ming did not give Yan Zhiqi a chance, and in the last two seasons, due to Gao Shiyan being loaned to Shandong, Yan Zhiqi has been given enough opportunities to perform. But Yin Shouqi has disappointed fans extremely, in addition to being able to perform on the defensive end, the data on offense and assists is unbearable, and the three-point shooting rate this season is only 19%. And Zhou Juncheng is usually difficult to get playing time, so the dud at the key moment is also expected, the two substitute defenders only scored 2 points in the whole game, and the Liaoning team's proud defender defense line now has inevitable problems.
Therefore, in the next season, Gao Shiyan's return to Liaoning has become inevitable, looking at many teams with championship strength such as Guangdong, Shanghai and Zhejiang, the personnel reserve in the defensive line has exceeded four, and the performance of several substitute defenders in liaoning team in addition to Guo Allen Zhao Jiwei has completely failed to meet expectations. In recent years, in the case that Guo Allen still has the impact, Liaoning team will still usher in the best time to rush to the championship, so recalling Gao Shiyan to improve the defensive strength is crucial, the last 10 games of the third stage of the Liaoning team will have four hard battles, namely against Shanghai and Zhejiang, if Guo Allen continues to be absent, then there will be no advantage in the duel with these two teams. Therefore, Liu Zhixuan's next performance will directly affect the direction of liaoning's game.
